I've been working hard on the house these past couple of years (hopefully I can work backwards and post some of the changes), but bedrooms are usually put off until the end. Mitike, for her birthday, received several things for her room. We went to work, and I think it turned out pretty well.
We based the room around this colorful Ethiopian basket. We bought from the lady that kept the guest house and made baskets to sell to people that stay there. I consider it a work of art!
Many of the pennants were already made. We had them up in Singapore and China! Thanks to the Mike Eiler family for the curtains!
Yeah Aunt Kim! The bedspread matches really well! I decided to just hang clips on the wall so that art work could be changed out when she wants. Grandma, the rug is looking good! Sadly the beautiful wood--that was in really good shape--has to be sanded and refinished because the carpet pad stuck to it. Fall Break project!
Mitike's favorite part are the baskets and chalkboard. The fabric was bought from IKEA while we were in Singapore. Matt always laments that I don't get rid of stuff, but look how great this turned out!
Ana asked for baskets, pennants, and a chalkboard! Unfortunately all her things will have to be made from scratch! More fall break!
